William Blake is one of England's most fascinating writers; he was not only a groundbreaking poet, but also a painter, engraver, radical, and mystic. Although Blake was dismissed as an eccentric by his contemporaries, his powerful and richly symbolic poetry has been a fertile source of inspiration to the many writers and artists who have followed in his footsteps. In this collection Patti Smith brings together her personal favorites of Blake's poems, including the complete Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, to give a singular picture of this unique genius, whom she calls in her moving introduction "the spiritual ancestor" of generations of poets.

About William Blake

William Blake (1757–1827), born in London, was an English poet, painter, and engraver. Trained as an engraver, he produced his poetry as illuminated books that he hand-lettered and illustrated, among them Songs of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794). His longer prophetic works include The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (c. 1790) and Milton (c. 1804–1811). Largely unrecognized as a poet during his lifetime, he is now regarded as a foundational figure of Romanticism.
